Logo Contest for Housekeeping Company - $90

[libertygone]

Looking for some talented logo designers to create a logo. It is for a housekeeping company called High Rise Housekeeping. It should have the following points:

READ OUR REQUIREMENTS BEFORE TRYING

would like to have a coat of arms in the backdrop, two feather dusters crossing and angling upward and then H, R, H - “A company you can look up to”
looking for a rich/established feeling
traditional colors/warm
the shield should instead be more like a full crest- we want it to looked detailed and elegant, not cartoony. Also, is there any graphical elements you can add to the background? such as: http://i38.tinypic.com/a0z0c9.jpg
as for the font- we need something similar to Monotype Corsiva- I don’t like this font but one of the partners does so if we can find something similar, that would be great.
should be scalable and delivered in .ai or .pdf format


here are some sketches and examples.. remember though we do NOT want it cartoony it needs to be progessional and ellegant.

nice work.
could you make the brooms look more like feather dusters and make them stand out somehow?

not diggin this at all. sorry it's just not professional

[herenow]

If scorpionagency is supposed to make his feathers look like feathers they will look like mine. Thank you for nothing.

wow. professionalism at it's best.
thanks anyways

[herenow]

Yes, because you need distinctable lines that work in small scale as well.

[sandeepramje]

heres my try:

[scorpionagency]

Revised - More definitive feathers in the duster, larger to stand out more, & Black back drop to complement contrast

With a Maroon Back Drop for contrast instead of black

I have no intention of offending anyone, but I see no reason why only the CH should leave his or her opinion. The risk that the combination of the two feathers and a coat of arms won´t look at least slightly silly is zero. For the very simple reason that they represent opposites that don´t mix: something timeless, powerful, male vs. something 100% common, banal, (female, maybe).
If you work with these elements nevertheless, the name and the feathers should be recognisable when scaled to a size that can be used on banners or letterheads (> 100 pixels). Everything that isn´t distinctive at that size anymore has to be eliminated. If the business is using fax or wants to use the logo universally it has to work in B/W respectively monochrome. So the only workable solution for the feathers is outline + centerline, width 2 or more That´s it.

[scorpionagency]

Just to show the concept is 100% Lines/Paths Vector - Here is the original paths Draft before the color fill. :D

Because I´m 100% evil, I´ve come up with something that isn´t even supposed to win. First advice: drop the tagline. Noone looks up to a company like this or rolls out the red carpent but simply expects it to get the work done, unnoticed and discrete. Tried to reduce the feather as much as possible, so one hopefully also might have the association of a bird´s tail or a rising sun: some beautiful and fresh opposed to dusty coats of arms. Feel free to think of it as unprofessional as you like, but from my point of view something like this is the way to go: abstract, usable, unique, at least vaguely smart.
